Still, it does have a very loyal fanbase, one which will surely be thrilled at an event like this. It's heartening to see a prominent author like Ernest Cline recognize the video game community like this, especially seeing how much video game culture is represented in his books. Roblox fans should get their book preorders in now; this event is not to be mis

Roblox ’s unique position as both game and creation tool has drawn a lot of players in the nearly 15 years it’s been around. Last year, developer Roblox Corporation announced that Roblox had surpassed 100 million active players , a number which grew 50 percent just in 2020, with Roblox now exceeding 150 million active players every month. To keep those players coming back and attract ever more, Roblox is expanding this year, launching a platform to help its community of creators collaborate with one another better. It’s also entering into a partnership with the Monstercat record label to bring 51 music tracks into the game for creators to

On top of its recent milestones, Roblox Corporation also announced its plans for the future today. Roblox Corporation is launching a new platform to help creators collaborate together more easily, allowing them to form groups of up to 100 developers and designate creative roles more easily. Roblox is also partnering with record label Monstercat to make 51 tracks available for creators to use in their ga

One day after Roblox 's stock hit the market, and things are looking up. The Roblox stock was reported to go public a couple of weeks ago, but it finally opened its doors to the public this afternoon. Many had expected the stock to go live as the market opened at 9:30 AM ET or at noon, but it didn't go live until much later in the aftern

The work Roblox Corporation has done to build its developer community and robloxrealm.com creators make money is clearly paying off. In a press release, Roblox Corporation announced today that its community creators are on track to make a collective $250 million in 2020 alone. That’s more than double the $110 million that Roblox developers earned in 2019. Roblox Corporation also says that its new Premium payout system netted developers $2 million just in June. The massive increase in payouts for creators is at least partially due to an explosion in players. Roblox now has 150 million monthly active users, a 50 percent increase over what it had this time last y

Now Roblox is featuring a brand new tie-in event to coincide with Ernest Cline's new book, Ready Player Two . The Roblox website anticipates that this will be the biggest book tour event in publishing history, a bold claim inspired by a similar event the website hosted to celebrate the release of the Ready Player One film adaptation in 2018. That event drew in a whopping 13 million, and Roblox anticipates that this event will be even bigger. It will take the form of an online treasure hunt, similar to the ones undertaken by the main characters in the books themselves. The event kicks off on December 1st with a live Q&A between Ernest Cline himself and Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki. Keen Roblox fans will want to tune into this event, as it will feature hints that will help them navigate the treasure hunt. Apparently more hints can be found inside Ready Player Two itself, so players are encouraged to read the book in preparation when it launches on November 24th. Players who complete this quest successfully will earn free digital goods themed after the ev

Roblox has been quietly but steadily growing since its launch in 2006, surpassing 100 million monthly active users for the first time in 2019. While new content from Roblox mainly comes from its player community, rather than from officially released expansions, developer Roblox Corporation has continued to invest in the game through new development tools and more options for players to monetize their own creations. Earlier in 2020, Roblox added Premium payouts, a system that allows community developers to earn money based on how much time players with Premium memberships spend on their ga

Roblox ’s new free items from Prime Gaming aren’t likely going to be the factor that convinces many new players to join the game, but its visibility on the platform could just do the trick. More than that, it’s likely to be a nice bonus for players and creators who have already joined the game’s ever-growing player b

There’s no one reason for the massive growth of Roblox recently, with its success tied up in the work of its creator community, policies set by Roblox Corporation, and likely the huge audience of potential players and developers with more time on their hands as they practice social distancing. Whatever the cause, Roblox is offering a platform unlike any other to independent creators and it seems like it’s only getting bet

It is reported that there are shuttles in place to transport players from the ceremony to the band performance. The band will be playing three songs, and once that's completed, players will return to the award cerem
